By Will 5 months ago, 3 Comments »
A press release landed today from the MCC who have scratched their collective brains and come up with an A-Z of MCC cricket this season. Worth sharing I thought.

The 2008 English cricket season begins at Lord’s with the MCC v County Champion match. MCC is pleased to bring you a comprehensive A – Z guide of its cricket activities this season:
A is for Arundel: the venue for MCC’s fixture against the New Zealanders on Sunday 27th April.
B is for Balls: MCC will provide 1,000 new cricket balls to all its opposition this season, be it an international, first-class, amateur Club or School side. This is an investment of £10,000 on balls alone.
C is for Cowdrey Lecture: Inspired by the late Colin Cowdrey, the MCC Spirit of Cricket Cowdrey Lecture has become an important part in the cricketing calendar, allowing as it does a platform to discuss the issues surrounding the game today.
Previous speakers have included Richie Benaud, Sunil Gavaskar and Christopher Martin-Jenkins.
D is for Dressing Rooms: the only place to see the full honours boards at Lord’s. The Home Dressing Room is Number 1 within the famous Pavilion, while the Visitors will use Dressing Room 5.
